When the temperature is at 31°C, the A-36 steel pipe fits snugly between the two fuel tanks. When fuel flows through the pipe, it causes the temperature to vary along the pipe as T(x) = (1.1x? – 12x + 113)°C where x is in meters. If the pipe were unconstrained by the rigid wall, what would its elongation be? For A-36 steel, a = 12(10-6)/°C. 150 mm. 10 mm- Section a - a -6 m
The 40 ft. long steel rails on the train track are placed such that there is small gap, 8, between them to allow for thermal expansion. A 100 Ib/yard a rail has a cross-sectional area of 9.80 in?. The steel used has the following material properties: E = 29,000 ksi 6.6 HE/ F (a) What is the size of gap, 8, required so that the rails just touch one another when the temperature increases from -20°F to 100°F. (b) Given the gap you found in (a), what would the axial force in the rails be if the temperature rises to 130°F.
